Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to consumer product packaging. More particularly, the present invention relates to packaging of confectionary products, pharmaceutical products, or the like.
  • the packaging for consumable products is very important to the storage of the product. Frequently, the packaging attempts to visually convey indicia about the type of product, the taste of the product or the purpose of the product. For example, some packages for consumer products, such as gum or candy, frequently include indicia on the package indicating the type of tasting product available in the package. Once a consumer identifies the type of product from the package, the consumer typically chooses a product based solely on the packaging indicia.
  • Various types of blister package assemblies are known in the art. For example, in U.S. Pat. No.
  • a stepped-edge blister pack for containing and dispensing units of doses of medication such as capsules, tablets, caplets or fast-dissolving dosage forms is disclosed.

  • a method of providing a package assembly for consumable products includes forming a housing comprising a plurality of sleeves removably attached to the housing, and providing a blister tray slidably insertable into one or more of the plurality of sleeves, the blister tray supporting consumable products.
  • the step of forming further includes forming the plurality of sleeves from a single flat piece of paperboard material.
  • the method includes folding ends of the single flat piece of material toward one another, and attaching at least one surface of the ends of the single flat piece of material to the housing.
  • the method covering the at least one surface with an adhesive.
  • the method includes interlocking one or more ends of the flat piece of material to the housing.
  • the folding step further includes folding the ends of the flat piece of material over approximately one-half the diameter of the housing.
  • the method includes attaching the plurality of sleeves to the housing in juxtaposition with one another. In another preferred embodiment, the method includes attaching the plurality of sleeves to the housing spaced apart from one another.
  • the method further includes the step of providing a detachable perforated line between the sleeves allowing for the removal of one of the plurality of sleeves from the housing.
  • the detachable perforated line is a hinge.
  • the method further includes the step of providing the detachable perforated line substantially parallel one of an x and a y axis formed by the two primary dimensions of the housing.
  • a blister package assembly for consumable products includes a housing comprising a plurality of sleeves which are removably attached to the housing, and a blister tray slidably insertable into at least one of the plurality of sleeves, the blister tray supporting consumable products.
  • the plurality of sleeves are attached to the housing at a hinge.
  • the plurality of sleeves are attached to the housing at a detachable perforated line so as to allow the removal of one of the plurality of sleeves.
  • the detachable perforated line is substantially parallel one of an x and a y axis formed by the two primary dimensions of the housing.
  • the plurality of sleeves are positioned on the housing in juxtaposition with one another.
  • the plurality of blister sleeves are spaced apart on the housing.
  • the plurality of sleeves are adhered to the housing using an adhesive.

  • the package assembly 10 shown in the drawings is designed to preferably be used to support and dispense confectionery products, e.g., gum, the assembly also can be used to support and dispense other products, e.g., pharmaceuticals.
  • the package assembly 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of sleeves 17, 19 that are removably attached to a housing 12.
  • the plurality of sleeves 17, 19 are uniform in shape and have a generally rectangular form.
  • the assembly also includes one or more packages or blister trays 14, 15 that are removable from and reinsertable into the sleeves 17, 19.
  • a consumer may slidably remove blister trays 14, 15 from the sleeves 17, 19 and slidably reinsert the blister trays 14, 15 into the sleeves 17, 19 as desired.
  • each tray 14, 15 of the present invention are made primarily from plastic and/or plastic or metal foils.
  • each tray 14, 15 includes a plurality of compartments 18A-D, 18E-H, respectively, of generally equal dimensions that generally extend outwardly from each tray 14, 15.
  • the trays 14, 15 are dimensioned to press-fit against walls of the sleeves 17, 18 upon insertion of the trays 14, 15 into the sleeves 17, 18.
  • the center of each blister tray 14, 15 includes a hinge 9 allowing each tray to be folded onto itself and to be stacked. Once stacked, the two blister trays 14, 15 may be slidably removed and inserted into the sleeves, resulting in shorter and wider sleeves.
  • the compartments 18A-H generally hold or store a single product 20A-H, however, in other embodiments, compartment dimensions may be varied and can store multiple and varied products.
  • the compartments 18A-H are made from plastic that is clear so that a consumer can see the products stored therein.
  • the compartments 18A-D of tray 14 and compartments 18E-H of tray 15 are arranged in a series of four (4) longitudinally spaced compartments each, however, each of the trays 14,15 may be adapted to have any number of compartments in various configurations. As shown in FIG.
  • the blister trays 14, 15 are configured to include a slot 22 that may aid the consumer in slidably inserting and removing the blister trays from the sleeves 17, 19.
  • the slot 22 also may be used to facilitate mounting of the package assembly on a product display module.
  • the slot 22 is configured to receive a product display bracket extending from a product display module.
  • the sleeves 17, 19 of the present invention are made from single or multiple pieces of cardboard or other suitable material and are shaped to support the blister trays 14, 15.
  • the material for the sleeves 17, 19 is preferably chosen to be relatively inexpensive and may in certain embodiments be biodegradable or recyclable.
  • biodegradable paperboard may be used to form the sleeves 17, 19.
  • other materials such as unbleached board as well as polymeric material, may be used to form the sleeves 17, 19 depending on the desired appearance of the assembly 10.
  • the paperboard is coated on at least one side with a conventional coating selected for compatibility with a printing method and board composition chosen for the assembly 10.
  • the paperboard is preferably a single piece of paperboard.
  • the sleeves 17, 19 are formed by folding the housing 12 so that after folding, the coated side of the housing would become the external surface of each sleeve 17, 19. This allows for indicia concerning the product contents of the assembly 10 to be viewed without removing the package trays 14, 15 from the sleeves 17, 19. Details with respect to folding the housing 12 to form the sleeves 17, 19 are discussed in connection with FIGS. 3 and 6 of the application. It should be noted, however, that the sleeves 17,19 of the present invention are not limited to being formed by folding the housing 12.

  • the sleeves of the present invention are not limited to having both front openings and back openings.
  • the sleeves include front openings and back walls instead of back openings.
  • each sleeve 17 has either a front wall or a back wall and a back opening or front opening, respectively.
  • the top walls 28, 29 and bottom walls 30, 31 of each sleeve 17, 19 may include recesses 34, 37 that may aid the consumer in slidably inserting and removing the package trays 14, 15 and/or are for aesthetic purposes.
